in the cale cobble airport over the past week. the british military is describing conditions as extremely challenging will tell of on faces the man and check points around the airport and are blocking people without documents from entering a spring and charles stratford. he's just landed at carbo airport. charles, just give us a sense of what the situation is like there right now. why yes, i should be specific exactly as to where we are. we are on the side of the apple. i'm seeing huge lines of people. these people have, haven't already had the papers process we run about an hour ago, long lines of afghans climbing on to military golf call around the world. i could play related to south africa play. we know the
4:03 pm
straight in italy flights earlier today. there is a sense of a call shouldn't be in the location we are, but as you can imagine, a lot of tension, your case will come put in this unity. we speculate that these are wanting shots. it's being reported at least that things have been a little bit more orderly today. certainly capacity to, to, to change. we've seen in the last few days we've been speaking to people who i've been hearing up. some of the things that i've said trudy brady pretty quite blue. they one guy with western media many is very articulate. say like this is being a brain dry because he was an incredibly sad time for, for, for afghan and stuff. but he said that he wasn't prepared to give the probably bomb
4:04 pm
benefits out. because of course, since taking control of gobble said that they will be no replies. they've said that people don't need to the country, especially even those people that work with work before you work with a party joes board media over the last 2 decades. well this gentleman said he was good. give us better. interesting. describe the taliban, if you like. 3 sections to describe the political wing, the commanders and the foot soldiers i need is very key to make the point. what he said was the political offices all the articulate was they all the ones that people do the ones to get it to the it's an actual quest. but there is a lot of distrust it be about the low actual like he was especially to out side probably had a lot of distrust about he's what he's feeling. a lot of what we're saying is it's
4:05 pm
a 1000 people, but the continue to be but they don't do these off to another. what looks to be 130 minutes off is just landed. we see helicopters landing as well as a long line of people in bunch of all ages. some of them actually very dirty looking, disheveled, looking one can i have been traveling quite long distances to get it. but other family that we spoke to. oh, release. i will it if that family saying it's a, it's a relief and certainly you could argue that they are the lucky ones. you've actually made it into the airport itself. a lot of the chaos that we're seeing, and certainly a lot of the, the traumatic scenes that have been coming from people who are trying to get in so that airport compounds and are caught in the crush in terms of the
4:06 pm
situation. air sides a couple airports, do you get the sense that it is under control, that some of the keels that we'd see night sizes as dissipated ones. you're in the airport itself. i would very much say that things are very orderly here. i don't have the paperwork already posted, so they've gone through. if you like, the worst tool of the close is having to queue up outside having to go through that trash at the end of that area where we see people killed in recent days. it is much or to leave it say the us military. people to play the tree as i've said, stop. oh, it very much. it bo okay, but it is called the side of the it is a very well organized,
4:07 pm
sorry to jump and that charles, just for viewers are perhaps not as familiar with this part of the world. a notice familiar with the climate holtz is it there? and is there enough water for people within the airport? well, suddenly, the area that we're looking at a product of water now the $300.00, which is a big distributed to the people that the party decides that the heat is manageable repair. find that it is full p. m. but we know that it has to be, it is hot offer today is to sell it. and as i said, somebody put these lines, they said they should look awfully exhausted. and very apprehensive and eager to get on these back off and say another one which is just actually towards this now. okay, thanks very much, charles for giving us a sense of what the situation is like. they're inside cobble airport. we do
4:08 pm
appreciate it. so here is charles stratford who's literally just landlords at there . thank you. charles at we're also keeping an eye on the taliban facets for a political transition now. and of course the us evacuations from ghana, son. let's bring you up to dates on that front. title. castro is in washington d. c. without said on america's ponds to fly at nationals. first the let's head to vote. mcbride's who is in kabul. foras ro, bloodless severe away from the situation on the grains and talk about the politics for a moments. and the taliban are laying the blame for the airport. chaos that the american stores, but they're very keen to get the message across that they are focused on this political transition and wants to get the country up and running again. and what
4:09 pm
can you tell us? a bite, this political transition, where are we with that? yeah, i mean you've got to remember just quickly on going on to the, for the old, most of the chaos is all around the outside of the, at the airport. and it's been like that for a week. it was exactly a week ago, today's a sunday that we were looking at the imminent collapse of the government in that port stuff, leaving that post and crowds inundating it. and there are still predictions this sunday, we might be another week away from the airport to being restored to normal services may be more maybe short. i mean, it really is difficult to judge that you do it still. if you still have this amazing contrast of all the chaos and in cobble city itself, the political negotiations that go a pace and there are expectations that in the coming week we will hopefully see some kind of breakthrough. where the chief, one of the senior taliban officials, mila bought the he here with his co group in cobble. we know that in the coming
4:10 pm
days he will likely meet with me because i a former president. and also i've done that up dollar. he is a very influential figure from this last administration. now before those tools happen, which presumably will lead to the setting up of this new government both cause i end up meeting with other taliban officials here in kabul, it was all very john teal. it is all very nice, it seems behind the scenes, so seems to be paving the way for this new government to take take power here. meanwhile, the taliban are also saying that they are reaching out beyond cobble to some of the 20 or so of afghanistan's $34.00 provinces to former governors, to bureaucrats. government officials, really with the same message, trying to ease, trying to ease tensions. these fears here which do exist still across the country one week, one weekend, telling officials that you don't have to pledge allegiance to the taliban. we're not going to demand that. you do that if you want to leave the country. so they say
4:11 pm
you can do that all aimed at trying to repeat these messages about inclusiveness of this new government acceptance. but of course, you know, we keep saying a lot has to be matched with actions, and there are a lot of a lot, a very skeptical people here kind of stand right now. and there are, and did you say there are a lot of skeptical people in afghanistan, but i mean, are there people who go even further? you don't like the direction that the country is going in and are planning to raise some kind of resistance? is that something that you're hearing of it? the absolutely mean it almost seems to be part of the african dynamic that once one group takes power or grabs power, there is another group that rises in resistance to that we see that time and time again. and so we are seeing a nascent resistance movement, again based in the punch valley. now this is quite significant. historically, it is just north of cobble. it is where the previous existence to the taliban existed in the mid ninety's led by a band who is regarded as a as
4:12 pm
a resistance hero, a tide g here sharma, sued, known as the lion of punch ga. now, once again as the, as this government collapse, some military units did head straight for the punch, trying to repeat history once more. but my, my sued son who is part of that resistance. it's not clear whether he is actually supporting it. there are talks, there's a lot of reports that he is in negotiations with the taliban leadership hearing. cobble. meanwhile, there is a defense minister who said he is committed to the fight. and in fact, a few days ago with claiming to have picked up districts in the neighboring baghlan province and he's promising to carry on with that. so it does remain unclear about whether there is really a resistance to me. while the taliban had said, with sending forces into the punch here, you've got a few hours to decide whether you're with us or against us. ok, but my pride bring is very late since that for my cargo. rob,
4:13 pm
thank you. we appreciate it. let's head across the us now we can speak with heidi joe castro in washington, d. c. i d let. let's start off with this evacuation mission, because mathematically, it is a challenge to get tens of thousands of people and the few days that are remaining has there been any development there on how america's plumbing to get all of the people they've promised to take out of the country yes, this morning, the defense department activated the civilian reserve air fleet. now what this means is that in addition to the 150 u. s. military aircraft that have been taking americans and refugees out of cobble . now that will be augmented by an additional 18 commercial aircraft. they will not be flying into cobble itself. rather they will be helping passengers get through
4:14 pm
the 2nd leg of their journey, which is from those safe havens. the staging areas where they've been immediately put after escaping cobble. now these are again 18 commercial aircraft. they're from united airlines, american and for other smaller us airliners. and this will aid in what the us have said are the 17000. some people who have been evacuated from ghana stand in the last week and says the president, fee is expected to, to, to speak later and see what sort of thing can we imagine he'll have to abs because he has been talking to the press and the public over the last, the last few seasonings as me that's right. i on fridays when we last heard publicly from president biden on this and he struck a defensive tone at the time saying that he was committed to evacuating every american in every afghan ally from afghanistan. but he also said that the mission
4:15 pm
would not be open ended. this is coming a mid reports of a deteriorating security situation. as we've heard from our colleagues outside the cobble airport, the new york times spoke with one former us translator, whose 2 year old daughter was crushed to death in a mob outside the airport among the 7 deaths, according to the british defense ministry. so certainly, biden is take under increased pressure internationally as well as from even democrats here in the united states. he is expected to address the situation later tonight in a press briefing. ok, will be interesting to hear what the president has to say will bring it out, of course on al jazeera, but for no heidi joe costs are there in washington. d. c. thank you very much. we can stay with this now. let's begin for him. said that he's up, let's go unsecured, the analysts ahead of international relations at card university and joins is my
4:16 pm
scar from couple guys have with us on the news. our list focusing on these political talks that the taliban are having with former leaders of african governments past i'm from where you're sitting and from what you're hearing, what kind of governing solution do you imagine will emerge over the next week or so . well i, i think donna bon, are in consultations with people who are in couple with all the politicians and government officials who are, are really incapable. and the same time with those figures who are not in control and are outside the domain of the domain, which is also a son of a commander, his son who is talking of
4:17 pm
a resistance. so they found a bon are though not rushing to announce the government, which is a positive thing. why i'm seeing this because this means it's not by no duration. and as well as the in port in abroad, based on the government that we're not today legitimate insight. but we're also largely mission outside well by the challenge remains now with with the resistance leaders. because there seems to be some of value differences at the level of values. for example, down the bottoms values are not didn't matter what the value is, where my food, the heat so called resist in stocks of free and democratic governance. so
4:18 pm
now here we here with some value differences of sharia and democracy. so why would you be yes, that is likely to be a stumbling block so. so there is this tension you're saying between shared values or securing legitimacy from international partners and being viewed as people that they can work with on a wider scale. and which is more important. do you think to the child about, do you think they will move? they will sacrifice some of their value judgements in favor of getting a government that will be viewed to be acceptable internationally. or do you think that they will stick to their guns and say, this is the, these are the values of the government. we want to leave and if international partners will work with us and so be it. why do you see the balance being struck? the thing is, i think they've done,
4:19 pm
they buy new things to their values because that is very, very important. and that is something that if, if now the compromise largely on their values that will put it started by leadership with at risk of they did the movement in conflict. also if you look at the resistance, which is for me, which talks off of free government as the most democracy, this strains of that resistance is not. that's huge. so that the taliban has to sacrifice or compromise their core values. i think come much my food called nicely on the us to provide them with friends and you could not make assistance has been. busy largely on yours we didn't see a response to his lead. so i think the taliban will also be able somehow to suppress them. i'll do that would be unfortunate because it will
4:20 pm
open a new front of that. those are the pockets of the country. but what the time the bond at the moment are showing is patience and tolerance. so that the, any violence or any interruption of the violin, she was seriously would be the national community. because one of the challenges we have to overcome is getting the approval or getting the legitimacy of the international. i mean, so i think right now for finally bond, what is important is that on core values and that's what we could mission and digital, but they will have to compromise somehow. okay, well wait to see what those compromises are likely to be in terms of needs. oh dear, we appear to be having some problems with the skype issue. i was going to ask you
4:21 pm
what the immediate priorities would you say for the taliban once they get the government's established, are they going to be focusing on economic issues, security issues? where do you see the priority lying for this government? once it is formed? i think their, their priorities would be constitution and as well as you cannot make because it seems that. 5 they have large, need them dated over all the problem is, which are under that domain. now, what remains next is the dia, economic situation in the country, and also constitutional issues. because one thing that remains largely unexplained yet from the title on side is what are the constitutional views? so i think that immediate a priority offered. the announcement of the government would be at the formation of the constitution and then you cannot make issues in the guy of the country. okay, so he said that where i'd have to be great to get your thoughts. thank you so much
4:22 pm
for joining us on skype. form cobble you're welcome. ah, let's bring you some other news now. it is really air strikes. have again pound to the besieged, girls, stripped israeli security forces, say how my sites were targeted. overnights, they include weapons, storage, and manufacturing facilities. is shrill house deployed more troops to the guards aboard offense? the latest is, are the escalation follows cross border gun fire earlier on saturday. at least 41 palestinians and israelis soldier were injured during protest near the border. a 13 year old palestinian boy was shot in the head and is critically injured. here's human side. with lisa stopped faithful, govern. today, the policy instructions held a press conference to respond to these air strikes,
